It turns out that ADD can be a whole personality.
Hanging out with a very lefty millennial and reminiscing about GWB.

"I'm reasonably sure he's never SA'd a child. Which is pretty great!"

@bsky.app could you please make it so that people I've blocked aren't followers anymore? It really throws off my count when I've got 600+ "followers" and 500 of them are blocked spam accounts.

Aw. I have a nephew who had the cutest speech when he was little. The inlaws took him to this place and all he could talk about was going to the "'Chanted Porst" 🥰
Enchanted Forest founder Roger Tofte, 96, died Friday of natural causes, some 54½ years after he opened the iconic roadside amusement park.

Is it a waste of time to write an email like this? I already don't want to be their customer and it feels petty to tell them "You suck. And btw we aren't giving you any money!"

I saw a live birthed harbor seal pup for the first time in my life today. I thought it would be horrifying because I have a weak stomach, but it turned to UNGODLY CUTE very fast!
Using this thread for some moments in the minutes after. All shot on my z8, edited on phone for now. 🦭 🦑

Thought I was okay today until I started singing in choir, then I got dizzy. My watch gave me some concerning O2 numbers and they're slightly less concerning on the finger scanner but not great. So I'm going to stop exerting myself today.

When I'm on the elliptical, my right foot slowly slides to the right while my left foot stays planted. I need someone who knows bodies to watch me and tell me how I'm moving wrong 😂

Curling doesn't necessarily have to be just a winter sport.

I'm imagining doing this to my cat and I think she might never enter my home again after the attempt 😬😂

Home sick today. Ordered groceries and the person picked up 61 items in 15 minutes! I'm so impressed. It must be much easier to shop when you don't care about looking at everything 😂

Here's a frustrating thing: they opened admissions December 1st. I applied mid January and sent my transcripts (through fall '25). They required those transcripts and sent several reminders. But now they require winter '26 transcripts, too! WHY would you design the system like this.
I made it into the School of Music and Dance!
Now I just need to be accepted to the actual university 😂

I'm reharmonizimg Tennessee Waltz for my music theory class so I figured I'd see what people have done with it throughout the decades. There are literally 40 versions on apple music including the classics that you know but also Leonard Cohen, Norah Jones, and Jacob Collier.

Egg-cellent news! The first California condor eggs of the season have been laid at our wildlife conservation center, and more could be on the way.

I need everyone to know that on the crochet subreddit the mods made a big post about how they're taking a week off because there was too much fighting/political posts. so there's currently no mods on r/crochet and people are being absolutely insane

Did another peer review of an annotated bibliography and my villain origin story is going to be this yahoo telling me "just use a comma" where I've correctly used a semicolon or em dash 💀

Not really, it's always roulette.
You *can* get the risk level low enough that some people feel like roulette is worth it.
But fundamentally, cows' udders are just. directly underneath their poop chute. It is what it is. Even France, w rigorous raw milk standards, still has a lot of outbreaks.

Is it possible to do raw dairy safely? Not a sea lion question, I promise you.

This humanity healed a tiny bit of me.
A few days ago, I stood in the graveyard of an 1100 year old church, getting damper and damper in the drizzling rain.
A woman walked into the graveyard, waved, said hello, and, as we had previously arranged, handed me a paper bag full of human bones.
The life of a churchwarden is a strange one...
